the House schedule for the week of Dec. 1 doesn’t seem to reflect national priorities. Legislation considered under suspension of the rules is generally non-controversial; a super-majority is needed for passage. The House will be marking time while struggle goes on in backrooms.

1)H.R. 5683 – Ensuring Access to Justice for Claims Against the United States Act, as amended(Sponsored by Rep. Ron DeSantis / Judiciary Committee)

10)H. Res. 758 – Strongly condemning the actions of the Russian Federation, under Vladimir Putin, which has carried out a policy of aggression against neighboring countries aimed at political and economic domination, as amended (Sponsored by Rep. Adam Kinzinger / Foreign Affairs Committee)
